Jobs created after logistics business commits to lease renewal

Fulfilment and logistics specialist 3P Logistics has concluded lease renewal negotiations on an existing 75,000 sq ft fulfilment centre which will create job opportunities.

The premises are located on the popular South Lancs Industrial Estate in Wigan with proximity to the M6 Motorway, Liverpool Port and two major UK airports.

The company have said that the decision to commit to a 10-year lease extension is expected to create up to 20 jobs in the first year alone across various disciplines.

The facility will now undergo a period of significant investment including roofing and energy-efficient LED lighting throughout.

“We are happy to have agreed on terms to retain the Wigan fulfilment centre on behalf of our clients with stability of service and long-term planning in mind,” said Ian Walker, founder and managing director of 3PL.

“We have a network of UK and international warehouses at our disposal and the Wigan site was deemed pivotal to our UK and European operations.

“With future clarity now assured we will now undergo a period of sustained investment on the site as we align the business to increasing demand for outsourced fulfilment and logistics.

“With its central UK locality, Wigan and the surrounding area is fast becoming a hotbed for logistics excellence and we are delighted to secure our long-term future in the borough.”
